Yes. You can also lose your driver's license.

It is possible that you might run into a license check or have an accident and if you have failed to show in court (not clear whether this is true) you might be arrested for failure to show.

There is likely a bench warrant out for your arrest. Yes, you could see jail time to address the warrant. Your best bet is to contact the court clerk to be placed on the calender to hear the matter. You can enter into a payment plans, thus there is no excuse to not being able to pay.

Maybe, if there a warrant for you arrest.
